Chris Rauschuber - Mentor for Programming Practices

Chris Rauschuber is 20 years younger than I am, and yet I have learned much from Chris about how to learn. He is ridiculously patient with himself and others, and has a significant portfolio of work to claim as his own, despite his youth.
 
Chris has taught me to take time off the job and learn the IDE, learn new tricks with this or that technology, just try things that I would never take the time to try. As a result, he is not less productive, but more. Being an old school impatient Type A kind of guy, Chris has taught me that there is another way, and it works pretty well too. It also makes for a more pleasant experience as a human.
